What is a line called that intersects a circle at one point?

A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.


A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?

No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.

What is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points?

secant


A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?

A chord


A segment with end points of the circle?

if that line segment intersects the centre of the circle it is called a radius.


Line intersecting a circle in two points?

A line can be tangent to a circle in which case it intersects it in one point, it can intersect it in two points, or no points at all. So the choices are 0,1 or 2.


What is a straight line that intersects a curve?

A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
